    Yep. But the people don’t learn. So I don’t give a shit unless there is civil unrest against that government.

      That’s what they want. If ICE gets violently repelled in any substantial way tiny d will declare martial law and suspend voting. Otherwise midterms will decimate their control of Congress.

      The People are doing an amazing job at resisting in ways that are both highly effective and don’t give him an excuse to tear down the constitution, and they should be supported not condemned given the hand they were dealt.

        you are overestimating the reasoning skills and common sense of the average american voter. we’ll be lucky to flip even one chamber by a razor-thin margin.

            It would be naive to expect any more given how gerrymandered and entrenched red states are. 10% would flip both the House and Senate and effectively render the last 2 years of this presidency moot.

            • Senate aint getting flipped. Of the seats up for election, only Maine’s could realistically be flipped, all the other seats are either already solid blue or solid red. I doubt 3 red states would simultaneously go blue.

          At which point our number and power will be at its strongest. Some people voted for his ass and are still on the fence.

          Weakens his narrative and gives states more of a casus bellum to ignore or even toss out feds should the time come. Woo end of empire politics ain’t it FUN. Why couldn’t we have gone out like the Hittites at least then I could stab strange people coming from the sea.

            Should the time come.

            I’m not angry at you but at this sentiment. When is the fucking time if not now?

        An American trying to explain how to properly dismantle a government. Another great example of “Oh we should play by the rules because then everything is going to be okay”. No. It wont. Get violent or they will kill you, one by one.

          A non American bitching that other people aren’t throwing their lives away while you sit behind a keyboard under no danger whatsoever

            You have no idea where I am coming from. And you do have no clue how we, as a society, show the government who is in charge at the end of the day. The only ones sitting behind keyboards are Muricans and definitely not Europeans or Asians, most likely because 40.3% of all people are too fat to even protest properly.

            Enjoy the fascist regime.
